Choosing between the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 depends largely on what you prioritize. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and can manage with less storage, less RAM, and a basic processor, the ASUS could suit your general use needs. On the other hand, the Samsung is considerably more expensive but offers a lot more: an OLED touchscreen, far more storage, and increased RAM with a better processor, which improves performance across general use, 3D/machine learning, and engineering tasks. The Samsung also features a longer battery life, a higher quality build, and it's slightly more portable. If you often engage in tasks that demand more power and you can invest more, the Samsung is the superior choice, especially if you'll benefit from its touchscreen and better screen quality.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15's gaming and 3D performance is hindered by its basic Intel UHD Graphics 600, which is less capable than the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360's more powerful Intel Iris Xe graphics. Additionally, the Galaxy Book3 360's superior CPU and screen quality also contribute to its better gaming and 3D capabilities.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 with a modest Intel Celeron processor and basic Intel UHD graphics is less suitable for engineering and design tasks that require more powerful CPUs and GPUs, while the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360's higher-end Intel i7 processor and Iris Xe graphics support the heavy lifting required for such tasks.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15's screen may not render colors as accurately or be as sharp as needed for general use, and its lower resolution and brightness can hinder clarity and visibility. For engineering and design tasks, its lack of wide color gamut coverage means it won't display the full spectrum of colors required for precise work. For gaming and 3D applications, it's not ideal because it likely has a standard refresh rate, which is less smooth compared to screens designed specifically for these purposes, and the resolution and panel quality may not be up to par with gaming-grade laptops.

"The Asus Vivobook Go 15 is a good option if you’re looking for one device to tackle a bunch of smaller problems. For simple school studies, portable evening entertainment or distractions, and getting household admin or light office workloads out of the way, it’s a great little package with respectable battery life, and a great contender for the advent of cloud gaming."
"The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 isn’t a laptop that the Korean manufacturer has shouted from the rooftops about, and it seems to have gotten little attention from anywhere. But, it is absolutely a laptop worth paying attention to. Compared to higher-priced devices, like the Dell XPS 13 (2022) and Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023), it manages to offer a similar day-to-day experience despite the price difference. It’s really hard to justify the extra cash unless a boosted display is a requirement of yours."
